Oh wait, it turns out the United States is *also* committing war crimes with drones near our borders, too.

Our DUI-hire Secretary, Pete Hegseth, ordered the military to “kill everybody,” so the JSO sent a second strike to kill the survivors of their first illegal strike. This admin is anti-human.

2 National Guard soldiers shot near Farragut Square in Washington, D.C. Heavy police presence, both victims injured, conditions unknown.

A leaked conversation between Steve Witkoff and a Vladimir Putin aide shows that Witkoff continually “encourages the Russians to think they can get Trump on their side”—and in doing so has prolonged the war with Ukraine, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:
What Is Steve Witkoff Trying to Do?
